And they answered0559, {He is} witness5707. 12:6 And Samuel8050 said0559 unto the people5971, {It is} the LORD3068 that advanced6213 Moses4872 and Aaron0175, and that brought5927 your fathers0001 up5927 out of the land0776 of Egypt4714. 12:7 Now therefore stand still3320, that I may reason8199 with you before6440 the LORD3068 of all the righteous acts6666 of the LORD3068, which he did6213 to you and to your fathers0001. 12:8 When Jacob3290 was come0935 into Egypt4714, and your fathers0001 cried2199 unto the LORD3068, then the LORD3068 sent7971 Moses4872 and Aaron0175, which brought forth3318 your fathers0001 out of Egypt4714, and made them dwell3427 in this place4725. 12:9 And when they forgat7911 the LORD3068 their God0430, he sold4376 them into the hand3027 of Sisera5516, captain8269 of the host6635 of Hazor2674, and into the hand3027 of the Philistines6430, and into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Moab4124, and they fought3898 against them. 12:10 And they cried2199 unto the LORD3068, and said0559, We have sinned2398, because we have forsaken5800 the LORD3068, and have served5647 Baalim1168 and Ashtaroth6252: but now deliver5337 us out of the hand3027 of our enemies0341, and we will serve5647 thee. 12:11 And the LORD3068 sent7971 Jerubbaal3378, and Bedan0917, and Jephthah3316, and Samuel8050, and delivered5337 you out of the hand3027 of your enemies0341 on every side5439, and ye dwelled3427 safe0983. 12:12 And when ye saw7200 that Nahash5176 the king4428 of the children1121 of Ammon5983 came0935 against you, ye said0559 unto me, Nay; but a king4428 shall reign4427 over us: when the LORD3068 your God0430 {was} your king4428. 12:13 Now therefore behold the king4428 whom ye have chosen0977, {and} whom ye have desired7592! and, behold, the LORD3068 hath set5414 a king4428 over you. 12:14 If ye will fear3372 the LORD3068, and serve5647 him, and obey8085 his voice6963, and not rebel4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD3068, then shall both ye and also the king4428 that reigneth4427 over you continue following0310 the LORD3068 your God0430: 12:15 But if ye will not obey8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068, but rebel4784 against the commandment6310 of the LORD3068, then shall the hand3027 of the LORD3068 be against you, as {it was} against your fathers0001. 12:16 Now therefore1571 stand3320 and see7200 this great1419 thing1697, which the LORD3068 will do6213 before your eyes5869. 12:17 {Is it} not wheat2406 harvest7105 to day3117? I will call7121 unto the LORD3068, and he shall send5414 thunder6963 and rain4306; that ye may perceive3045 and see7200 that your wickedness7451 {is} great7227, which ye have done6213 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, in asking7592 you a king4428. 12:18 So Samuel8050 called7121 unto the LORD3068; and the LORD3068 sent5414 thunder6963 and rain4306 that day3117: and all the people5971 greatly3966 feared3372 the LORD3068 and Samuel8050. 12:19 And all the people5971 said0559 unto Samuel8050, Pray6419 for thy servants5650 unto the LORD3068 thy God0430, that we die4191 not: for we have added3254 unto all our sins2403 {this} evil7451, to ask7592 us a king4428. 12:20 And Samuel8050 said0559 unto the people5971, Fear3372 not: ye have done6213 all this wickedness7451: yet turn not aside5493 from following0310 the LORD3068, but serve5647 the LORD3068 with all your heart3824; 12:21 And turn ye not aside5493: for {then should ye go} after0310 vain8414 {things}, which cannot profit3276 nor deliver5337; for they {are} vain8414. 12:22 For the LORD3068 will not forsake5203 his people5971 for his great1419 name's8034 sake: because it hath pleased2974 the LORD3068 to make6213 you his people5971. 12:23 Moreover as for me0595, God forbid2486 that I should sin2398 against the LORD3068 in ceasing2308 to pray6419 for you: but I will teach3384 you the good2896 and the right3477 way1870: 12:24 Only fear3372 the LORD3068, and serve5647 him in truth0571 with all your heart3824: for consider7200 how great {things} he hath done1431 for you. 12:25 But if ye shall still7489 do wickedly7489, ye shall be consumed5595, both ye and your king4428.
